🕒 The 'Now' and the 'Then'
In this story, we see two ways to talk about time. One is for things that already happened, and one is for things that will happen.
1. Looking Back (Past) When the story talks about the bad year, it uses words that show the action is finished:
- Had → (Not 'have')
- Won → (Not 'win')
- Was → (Not 'is')
2. Looking Forward (Future) When the story talks about the plan, it uses WILL:
- Will pick → A future action.
- Will leave → A possibility later.
Quick Tip for A2: If you see WILL, the action is a dream or a plan. If you see WON or HAD, the action is a memory.
